That very question has been posted here numerous times, and the overwhelming consensus has been, "NO."

However, it doesn't hurt to ask again.

Thanks, I should have checked first for prior threads on this.

I still might get it when the car is here and I can better envision the look. Its like what color the car looks good in. In the end, its your car and your decision. If you put it on and don't like it the worst that can happen is, your going to take it off and be out some money. Cecil.................

I've only ever seen it as that silver on red combo which looks particularly clashy/tacky.

The graphics they put on the Project 7 car looks good in most color combos.

Of course!

All I said above was that the overwhelming consensus here when asked several times over the past many months was, "No." Since it was asked here again, I was just passing that on.

If you like it, then, yes, by all means, do it. No one is trying to make someone else's decision, but when an opinion is requested the polite thing to do is offer it.

I'm sorry Foosh if it seemed like I was picking on you. That was not my intent. I only meant in general terms and I apologize for the way I penned it. Cecil...........

Except those caps are not aluminum...at least the growler caps I got at the dealer are not. Mostly plastc from what I can tell. They do look cool though. The oem caps are truly cheesy.

I'm quite sure DuhCar means the car itself*. Regardless of what one thinks of the British, I love the look of the Union Jack value caps - certainly over the OEM's - and for under $20, a cool (simple) touch in my opinion.

*i just checked the spare pack of stems I bought - had to replace one which, must have, been snatched by someone - and they do appear to be plastic from what I can tell.

It's good to honor your colonial masters from time to time. After all they are usually smarter than the natives and they wouldn't be so crass as to have a user name starting with a misspelt colloquialism. 🇬🇧

They must be smarter, as I don't know what the hell that means (Unless you're referring to/about DuhCar? I always just thought he must be originally from Chicago?).

Yes, I meant the car with its bonnet, boot, windscreen and tyres. I might use an English voice on the nav, if one is available.

It's time to get over the War of 1812.

Here in Baltimore Harbor we considered that just a minor skirmish. Even had time to leisurely compose a national anthem while it was going on.

I actually anticipated (looked forward to) having a British voice - on my British car - for NAV but that's not to be. To be or not to be...the answer is it doesn't have one. Not here at least.
